A magnitude of 8.0 earthquake struck on Wenchuan on May 12, 2008. Until July 1, 1393 injured persons had been admitted to Deyang People's Hospital. Of all injured persons, 32 were diagnosed with abdominal injury, including 18 men and 14 women. All the abdominal injuries were closed injury, and multiple abdominal viscera were involved in the abdominal injuries after the earthquake. Careful examination is crucial in preventing missed diagnosis. The incidences of the liver and spleen injuries were significantly higher than that of the intestine, and the reason may be that the liver and spleen are the parenchymal viscera. Diagnostic abdominocentesis can timely diagnose the parenchymal viscera with severe blood loss. Diagnostic peritoneal lavage combined with selective CT scan can timely diagnose the abdominal injuries with comparatively low cost.

[Objective]To explore the feasibility and safety of percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) treating osteolytic lesions of high thoracic vertebra with metastasis by one side extrapedicular approach,and to assess the clinical result of minimally invasive technique. [Methods]In March 2008,one patient(male,59 years old) with T1~3 vertebral metastases of lung cancer diagnozed 8 months ago was selected.The symptoms included extremely severe pain in upper thoracic spine and left should.The analgesic effect was limited for more than 6 months.There was no operative option.Domestic PKP and PVP tool systems were used in local anaesthesia.Under fluoroscopic guidance,T2 and T3 vertebral augmentation were separately completed by single side extrapedicular approach PKP and PVP.Clinical results were followed up and observed.[Results]The procedure was performed smoothly.T3 and T2 vertebrae were differently treated by PKP and PVP.T1 received no treatment because of patient`s intolerance.The operative time of T3 vertebral PKP was 57 minutes.The volume of injected bone cement was 1.9ml.The operative time of T2 vertebral PVP was 49 minutes.The volume of injected bone cement was 1.5ml.Extravertebral leakage of the polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) into the paravertebral itssue was found without clinical symptom,because osteolysis occurred in the left pedicle of T2 vertebra.There was no other complication.The patient was discharged 5 days after operation.The preoperative,2 days and 3 months postoperative follow-up VAS scores were 10,3 and 6.The patient's markedly pain could be controlled by analgesia.[Conclusion]One side approach percutaneous kyphoplasty is a safe and effective technique for treatment of high thoracic vertebral metastasis with markedly relief of pain.

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1)can interact with and exploit the host cellular machinery to replicate and propagate itself.Numerous studies have shown that the Mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signal pathway can positively regulate the replication of HIV-1,but exactly how each MAPK pathway affects HIV-1 infection and replication is not understood.In this study,we used the Extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)pathway inhibitor,PD98059,the Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)pathway inhibitor,SP600125,and the p38 pathway inhibitor,SB203580,to investigate the roles of these pathways in HIV-1replication.We found that application of PD98059 results in a strong VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus and HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity.In addition,SB203580 and SP600125 also elicited marked VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus inhibition activity but no HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity.We also found that SB203580 and SP600125 can enhance the HIV-1 inhibition activity of PD98059when cells were treated with all three MAPK pathway inhibitors in combination.Finally,we show that HIV-1virus inhibition activity of the MAPK pathway inhibitors was the result of the negative regulation of HIV-1 LTR promoter activity.

Dihydroartemisinin is an important derivative of artemisinin. We used dihydroartemisinin as the starting material, through esterification, amination and acylation, a series of novel piperazine-sulfonamide contained dihydroartemisinin derivatives were firstly synthesized and their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HR-MS. X-diffraction was used to determine the final configuration of the compound 3c. And the in vitro anti-HeLa activities of compounds 3 were analyzed with CCK-8 method. The preliminary bioassay test shows that compound 3 showed the best inhibition activities against HeLa with IC50 values of 0.14 micromol x L(-1).

Objective To investigate the Th1/Th2 polarization of T lymphocytes in human peripheral blood stimulated by CpG-ODN2216,and the secretion of cytokines in supernatant of cultured PBMCs after stimulation of CpG-ODN2216.Methods Human PBMCs were isolated from blood of donors.The PBMCs were incubated with CpG-ODN2216 for 24 hours.Th1/Th2 subsets in the cultured PBMCs were examined by flow cytometry,and IFN-?,IL-2,IL-4 and IL-10 in the supernatant were assayed by ELISA.Results The percentage of Th1 and Tc1 increased significantly after stimulation of CpG-ODN2216 compared with control group (P0.05).Conclusion The Th1 cells and Tc1 cells in T lymphocytes of peripheral blood could be polarizated by CpG-ODN 2216.IFN-? secretion in PBMCs could be induced by CpG-ODN2216.

Objective The forensic application of Lefort aqua regia digestion method detecting diatom in rabbits’s organs. Methods Using the Lefort aqua regia digestion-membrane ifltrition-SEM observation method and the traditional acid digestion-centrifugation-light microscopy observation method to detect diatom of drowning or postmortem immersion rabbits’s organs(lung,liver,kidney), and make statistical analysis of diatom number, consuming time, digestive capability and ifne structure of diatoms. Results The diatom number of Lefort aqua regia digestion method was superior to conventional acid digestion method, with the difference being statistically signiifcant (P<0.05), as well as consuming time, but have undifferentiated of drowning grounp(P>0.05), and have a better observation effect. Conclusion The Lefort aqua regia digestion method for diatom extraction was helpful for diatom identiifcation., and useful in drowning test by conventional and economicly.
